This board acts like this board is the most amazing thing written (apart from Infinite Jest trololol), but why is it so good? I semi-like Pynchon, so I may like this, but don't want to buy it unless it's the best damn thing.

But, Sunhawk, you have notoriously bad taste.

Even if it was good, you wouldn't know.

Snow-Balls have flown their Arcs, starr'd the Sides of Outbuildings, as of Cousings, carried Hats away into the brisk Wind off Delaware,-- the Sleds are brought in and their Runners carefully dried and greased, shoes deposited in the back Hall, a stocking'd-foot Descent made upon the great Kitchen, in a purposeful Dither since Morning, punctuated by the ringing Lids of various Boilers and Stewing-Pots, fragrant with Pie-Spices, peel'd Fruits, Suet, heated Sugar,-- the Children, having all upon the Fly, among rhythmic slaps of Batter and Spoon, coax'd and stolen what they might, proceed, as upon each afternoon all this snowy Advent, to a comfortable Room at the rear of the house, years since given over to their carefree Assaults.

If I liked it, would I be an alright poster then? Eh? I want to be an alright poster.

You just have no critical reasoning skills. It's why you fail even at job interviews with Waterstone's. Your brain is broken.

but sunhawk you're assuming that you would like it if it were the best damn thing

given your track record of notoriously shitty taste, this is not a trivial assumption.
